Week 12’s Oliver Stone Award recipient, the Jets left Jon Gruden’s Raiders a follow-up reminder about the NFL: Any Given Sunday. (And thanks for the dose of Mike Glennon.)

Coming in on a two-game winning streak—with wins over the Giants and Redskins—the Jets weren’t completely stagnant. But the Raiders have been turning heads lately, and the expectancy was that Sam and company had a minimal chance at making it three in a row. But the Jets kept it together in the conditions, on both sides of the ball, with the O-line working effectively during the pass and the run.

While all eyes were on this pass from Darnold to Robby Anderson, it was the wall of protection provided by the line that made me move—just slightly—off the couch and applaud at the television set.

Alex Lewis, Jonotthan Harrison, Kelvin Beachum, Chuma Edoga, Tom Compton, and Brandon Shell: This group has been looking up from the cluster of lines at the bottom of the league, but for this game, it was one of the best.
